Visual Arts
Visual art at Newman is directly tied to engaging students where they are and helping them develop their unique artistic voice. Small class sizes allow for individualized instruction and a project-based approach. Skill building is emphasized along with creativity, experimentation, and being self reflective about our process in the studio.
Newman’s international focus and Boston’s vibrant historic and contemporary art scenes inform students' investigations of various art media and movements. Walking to visit area murals and sculptures as well as trips to the Institute of Contemporary Art and Museum of Fine Arts are part of the student experience.
